Nonresident Concealed Handgun Permits


The purpose of a Virginia Nonresident Concealed Handgun Permit is to carry a handgun in a concealed manner while in the Commonwealth of Virginia. You will need to contact the authorities within your state to determine if they will honor Virginia’s Nonresident Concealed Handgun Permit in your state of residence.

The Virginia Department of State Police is not affiliated with and does not endorse any firearms safety courses of instruction to the general public.

Nonresidents of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 21 years of age or older, may apply in writing to the Virginia State Police for a five-year permit to carry a concealed handgun.

The application shall be made under oath before a notary or other person qualified to take oaths on a form provided by the Virginia State Police, requiring only that information necessary to determine eligibility for the permit. If the permittee is later found by the Virginia State Police to be disqualified, the permit shall be revoked and the person shall return the permit after being so notified by the Virginia State Police.

Request Virginia Nonresident Concealed Handgun Application Package

You may request an Application Package by contacting the Virginia State Police Firearms Transaction Center in writing at the below address or by e-mailing VSP at nonrespermit@vsp.virginia.gov. All written requests must include the applicant’s complete name and mailing address. A telephone number is also requested. Send written requests to:

Firearms Transaction Center

Concealed Carry Qualification

I am not an expert on reciprocity, is this legit?

Taking this online doesn't get you a Virginia CCW, it merely qualifies you to apply for one. You still have to fill out the VA application, pay their fee, get approved, etc. If you have taken the NRA handgun safety course then you don't need to take this.

You don't need a Non-resident CCW any more...

Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit Reciprocity and Recognition

As of July 1, 2016, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 18.2-308.014, the holder of a valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or license issued by another state1 may carry a concealedhandgun in Virginia provided all of the below conditions are met:

  1. The holder of such permit or license is at least 21 years of age.
  2. The permit or license holder carries a valid photo-identification issued by a government agency of any state or by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Department of State.
  3. The holder displays the permit or license and the government issued photo-identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer.
  4. The permit or license holder has not previously had a Virginia concealed handgun permit revoked.
Although the law requires Virginia to grant recognition to all states that issue permits, those states may not authorize Virginia permit holders to possess a firearm in their state.
Prior to traveling citizens should contact a representative of the state they intend to travel through to determine if that state will recognize their Virginia resident or non-resident concealed carry permit, or visit that state’s website for guidance.


This happened in response to the State AG and Gov trying to get funny with an Anti agenda, the AG rescinded all Reciprocity agreements. The State Legislature met out of necessity, lol, and enacted a LAW (see above) granting reciprocity to ANY permit for carry concealed even if that State (NY) does not grant it to VA residents in kind. So worry not...

Ahh yeah that's right, they changed it. If you're looking to get a few good permits, I recommend PA, Utah or NH, and Florida.

It looks like the link to the non-resident permit still works. Interestingly enough, application for the non-resident permit doesn't seem to require that you already have a permit in your home state. Also, on the list of "proof of competence with a handgun" it includes "Completing a hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries or a similar agency of another state" so even those who took a hunter safety course would qualify. :)

Now, that certainly doesn't qualify one to buy a handgun in NY, or the ability to buy it in another state (as a non-resident), but still is interesting.
